Seminal vesicle

Glands producing most of the fluid volume of semen.

The seminal vesicles supply the majority of seminal fluid, including fructose that provides energy for sperm. Very low semen volume with absent fructose can point to an obstruction or absence of these structures, and is investigated further by a urologist.

Also known as: seminal vesicles
